I've been driving trucks for nearly 40 years and I am well aware of all the things that can go wrong, but they're coming to a distribution center near you.

200 miles of range? So this won't be for "OTR" (over the road - long range) transport. Just local / regional.
The average truck driver does 500 - 600 miles per day. Range on a full tank of fuel for a semi is 900 - 2000 miles.

That particular one will be mainly local. It's used to transport Containers from shipping yards and train depots, but it's all electric emissions free. There are many out there that run on diesel and other fuels that have the same range as semis with drivers.
They've been testing them for years, with drivers in the cabs, but now they're starting to get them out there with no drivers.

No such thing as "emissions free." The emissions are just relocated (to the power plant generating the electricity).

As well as the mining of the raw materials, fabricating the components and assembly, I would guess.
